Not long after everyone sat down, Doctor Zhou walked in slowly with a huge bamboo basket on his back and took small steps.

Following closely behind him were two lively and active little girls, Lin Xiaoyu and Lin Lele.

Yun Zhizhi looked up and saw this scene. She quickly stood up and asked with concern, "Dr. Zhou, you've been gone for most of the day. Where have you been?"

Doctor Zhou put down his backpack and walked quickly to their side with big strides. Then he picked up the teapot skillfully and filled himself a cup of fragrant tea at just the right temperature.

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation, making a gurgling sound in his throat.

After putting down the cup, he slowly responded: "I just went to the mountains to collect herbs. This Sishan Village is simply a hidden treasure!"

"Especially deep in the mountains behind the village, there are countless varieties of medicinal herbs. The variety of medicines is truly amazing!"

At this time, Lin Zhaodi, who was busy standing not far away, Lin Laidi, who was busy entertaining guests, and Lin Yishan, who was sitting quietly on the side, all had expressions that changed drastically when they heard the three famous names of "Dr. Zhou".

The three of them simultaneously fixed their gazes on Doctor Zhou.

Lin Zhaodi seemed to be pushed by an invisible force. She took a few steps forward and rushed to Doctor Zhou at lightning speed.

Then, she knelt on her knees, tightly grasped the corner of Doctor Zhou's clothes with both hands, and begged bitterly: "Divine Doctor, please have mercy on us! I beg you to help heal my father's leg disease."

"As long as you can cure his leg disease, I will even work like a slave for you!"

Seeing her sister's actions, the third sister Lin Lai Di also knelt down beside her without hesitation, looking at Doctor Zhou with tears in her eyes, and kept repeating what her sister had just said.

Faced with this sudden scene, Doctor Zhou was stunned.

Lin Yishan's voice was slightly tinged with age as he spoke slowly, "You two should get up quickly! So many doctors have examined me before, and they all shook their heads and sighed, saying that my leg disease is incurable. Please don't embarrass this distinguished guest."

After saying that, he sighed softly, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

He really didn't want to see his two daughters giving up their dignity and kneeling down to beg others because of his stubborn illness.

Seeing this, Yun Zhizhi hurriedly stood up and stretched out her hands to help the two sisters up one by one.

"Dr. Zhou, please help check Uncle Lin's leg problem!"

On the way back from a stroll in the back mountain, Lin Zhaodi, who was always chattering, told her everything about their family like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Mr. Lin's leg disease was caused by a wild boar attack and accidental fall down the hillside when he was hunting in the mountains four years ago.

This stubborn disease has never been cured, so now I walk with a limp and great difficulty.

Lin's mother gave birth to four daughters before finally having a son. Due to a chronic illness she sustained during childbirth, she was unable to do heavy lifting or other work.

The burden of supporting the family naturally fell on Lin Zhaodi.

Lin Zhaodi, Lin Pandi, Lin Laidi and Lin Jindi, the names of these four sisters were not given by their father Lin, but by their grandfather Lin.

Father Lin is not as patriarchal as the late Mr. Lin.

If his left leg hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have agreed to let his eldest daughter go hunting to support the family.

Yun Zhizhi saw that the family was having a hard time, so she wanted to help as much as she could.

After hearing this, although Dr. Zhou remained silent, the movements of his hands had already responded.

Although Dr. Zhou did not speak, his calm and skilled hands reacted quickly.

He stretched out his right hand smoothly and placed it firmly on the inside of Lin's father's wrist, concentrating on taking Lin's father's pulse and diagnosing him.

After a while, Doctor Zhou finished taking the pulse, then bent down without hesitation, lifted up Mr. Lin's trouser leg and examined him carefully.

His eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any details.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Doctor Zhou suddenly grinned, stood up, and slowly looked at Lin Yishan, whose face was full of anxiety and expectation. "Haha, you are so lucky today. You are lucky to meet a miracle doctor like me!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhaodi, who had been nervously tugging at the corner of her clothes, suddenly showed joy on her face.

She hurriedly stepped forward and asked hopefully, "Divine Doctor, are you saying... that my father's leg disease can still be cured?"

Doctor Zhou slowly stroked his long, snow-white beard. "Well. As long as you strictly follow my instructions, your father's leg disease will be completely healed within a month or so."

"It's just that your father will suffer a lot during the treatment."

Lin Yishan's eyes were red, unable to hide his inner joy. He said excitedly, "Don't worry, doctor, I'm not afraid of suffering at all. As long as my leg disease can be cured, no matter how unbearable the pain is, I will definitely grit my teeth and persevere!"

Lin Zhaodi's eyes moistened, and she said to Lin Laidi, who was also ecstatic, in a slightly choked voice, "Third sister, run to Aunt Wanfu's house quickly and tell mother and second sister this great news."

Lin Lai Di wiped the tears of joy from her eyes and responded cheerfully, "Okay! I'll go right away!"

After saying that, she flew out the door like a light little swallow.

In just a quarter of an hour, thanks to the gossipy women gathered at Wanfu's house, the news spread quickly throughout the entire Sishan Village like wings.

Look, the villagers who treated Yun Zhizhi and the others as "fools" half a day ago changed their attitude in the blink of an eye and regarded them as "great benefactors".

So when Yun Zhizhi once again called these people in charge to discuss setting up stalls and transforming Sishan Village, their attitudes took a 180-degree turn.

Lin Zhaodi's simple face looked particularly serious and earnest at this moment.

She gazed firmly at the gathered villagers and spoke slowly, "Fellow villagers, Madam Zhao and her group are our family's saviors. No matter what happens next, I will unhesitatingly give my full support and actively assist them in setting up their stall here."

At this point, Lin Zhaodi paused for a moment, then emphasized, "Besides, their starting point is all for our benefit."

"If we can successfully transform our secluded little village into a popular tourist destination, we won't have to venture deep into the dangerous mountains and forests to hunt anymore."

Lin Wanfu, who was in the crowd, raised his hand in agreement after hearing this. "Zhao Di, what you said really hits the nail on the head! Who wouldn't want to easily make money right at home? Hehe, if that day ever came, I'd probably wake up laughing even in my dreams."

Seeing Lin Wanfu’s statement, other villagers also responded.

A burly man patted his chest and shouted, "Although I've never done any business before, and I don't have much business sense, as long as you can use me, even if it means doing physical labor, I will cooperate without hesitation!"

Another young man chimed in, "Yeah! If you need heavy lifting like moving things around, come to me!"

One of the playful girls said: "I have a sweet mouth. If you need to entertain guests, you can come to me."

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm, with various responses coming one after another.
